NATURE nursing in vain her warring children, benighted by the artifices

of Priestcraft and Politics; Philosophy consumes their screen in order todisplay the universality of transmutations:

For Self and Nature link'd in one great frame,
Shows true Self-love and Nature's as the same.

Eternal matter to one centre brings

Men changed to beasts, and insects changed to kings.

Who dares with force on Nature's chain to strike,

On Self, which changing never quits the chain

In life or death, transmits or joy or pain.

SUBSTANCE OF VIRTUE.
John Stewart
